Kevin Durant should go to............Minnesota?

Potentially the most coveted free agent this offseason will be Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant. The Thunder are coming off a heartbreaking Western Conference Finals loss to Golden State in which Oklahoma City had a 3-1 series lead, but lost the final three games.

Durant will have a number of suitors trying to convince him to play for their team. Now, I know they have no shot at getting the Slim Reaper, but the one team that he should go to is.......the Minnesota Timberwolves. Yes, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After you stop laughing, my question would be 'Why not?' Minnesota has two of the best young players in the game in Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, the last two Rookies of the Year. Add in one of the best passing point guards in the NBA in Ricky Rubio and you have a team that would challenge the Warriors as the best team in the league. And I have not even mentioned Minnesota now has one of the best and most well-respected coaches in the league in Tom Thibodeau.

One of the biggest needs for the Timberwolves heading into the offseason is shooting. Minnesota was tied for 25th in 3-point shooting percentage and 29th in 3-pointers made, only ahead of Milwaukee. Not only was the Durantula third in the NBA in scoring this season, but he also shot 39 percent from behind the 3-point line. That would have put him second on the Wolves last season, only behind Zach LaVine.

I realize that Durant will want to go to a bigger market because he will be more marketable in a bigger market, which means more money. However, I do think that Durant should stay in a smaller market, like an Oklahoma City or Minnesota. Oklahoma City does not have the toughest reporters in the country asking him questions after every game.

Two years ago, The Oklahoman apologized for writing a headline calling Durant "Mr. Unreliable." If he were to go to Los Angeles, New York or Boston, they would never apologize for writing such a headline. If he has a tough time with the Oklahoma City media, there is no way he would be able to handle the media in a major market.

Yes, I know it is the longest of long shots, but I really do believe that if he wants to win a championship, Minnesota is the team to go to. With two potential superstars already on the roster and another potential All-Star in LaVine, it would be foolish not to consider Minnesota. Just imagine a lineup with Rubio, Wiggins, Durant, Dieng and Towns with LaVine, whomever the Wolves choose at No. 5 and Shabazz Muhammad off the bench. Wow! I know it will never happen, but hey, I can dream, can't I?
